Sabrina is a remake worth watching … again.
Sabrina
I watched Sabrina last night – that’s 1995’s Sabrina with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, & Greg Kinnear. Of course I also saw the original 1954 Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, & William Holden.
Gotta tell ya – I saw Sabrina 5 or 6 times 20 years ago – but last night it was like I never saw it before – and I liked it – a lot – a few surprises caught me with my pants down.
And a nice undercard with Nancy Marchand, Richard Crenna, Angie Dickinson, and Lauren Holly.
IMDB describes 1995’s Sabrina like so:
“An ugly duckling having undergone a remarkable change, still harbors feelings for her crush: a carefree playboy, but not before his business-focused brother has something to say about it.”
And IMDB describes 1954’s Sabrina like so:
“A playboy becomes interested in the daughter of his family’s chauffeur, but it’s his more serious brother who would be the better man for her.”
Seemingly different descriptions – yet they say the same thing.
Here’s the trailer.

and I approve this message.
Warner Books published Born to Be Wild in 1992 & it still sells every day at Amazon & Kindle. True story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.
The story takes 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
